A great deal of effort goes into the self-reflection process to create documentation that is branded, achievement-laden, and targeted. JobRockit's "Five-Step Discovery Process is streamlined to uncover not only quantifiable achievements, but also "stories" (life experiences) that showcase who you are and reflect the unique promise of value you bring to your next employer.

A good process leads to a good product - one that gains momentum in your targeted search where benefits are gained by the "right match." Abraham Lincoln said, "If I had 8 hours to cut down a tree, I'd spend 6 hours sharpening my ax." JobRockit's analytical process is KEY in evaluating how to position you as the best candidate!

This is where the analyzation process meets the creative process! The hard part is over and now the fun begins as words are crafted to tell your story infused with differentiation, branding, and passion. You will be included in this process from rough draft to final document. Once you see the initial format and clearly understand the vision, bells and whistles will sound off for deeper personal and professional reflection.

As promised, your customized documentation will be sent via email within the timeline determined during our initial conversation.

First, it is important to know where you will use your resume ... what targeted position ... what industry. Instead of a two-hour intake session or lengthy worksheets, we request an old resume to gain an overview of your past and to gather factual information (education, address, dates of employment). If you do not have an old resume, that's ok, too.

Second, JobRockit's simplified career worksheets will be sent via email. They require a great deal of thought. A resume is like a research paper-it's only as good as the information gathered. When you work with us, you will be very involved in the process. Therefore, the following two questions on the worksheets not only provide the background for what makes you "the best candidate for the position," but also prepare you to ramp an interview to another level. How? Because we develop your resume like it IS an interview!

Greatest Accomplishments

What are your Top 10 Greatest Accomplishments? (quantify as much as possible ... and, by the way, not all achievements are work-related, e.g., you could have traveled extensively, coached numerous community sports teams, run in 5Ks or marathons, climbed mountains, or dedicated many hours to fundraisers). Let us decide what is resume-worthy to showcase a well-rounded, accomplished, passionate, and motivated individual!

Challenge-Action-Result

Provide 3-5 CAR (challenge-action-result) scenarios that tell HOW you achieve great things. This collection of data "tells your story" and provides the transferable skills required to position you for a specific target. Interviews are most often based on a behavioral approach ("Tell us about a time when you ...") so, by the time you step into the interview, you are MORE than ready to affirm your professional value and will be interviewing to determine if it's where you want to work!

Third, once you have submitted your old resume and the JobRockit worksheets, we have enough preliminary information to create resume draft #1-whether good, bad, or ugly! Now, here's where you come into the process again. We email draft #1 for your review of the content, format, and strategy to clearly understand the vision, allowing for deeper personal and professional reflection. Then, we schedule a time to discuss additions / edits / 'aha!' moments and, by the 2nd draft, the master resume begins to unfold with your unique promise of value for a position you have worked hard for ... and deserve!

What is most important to know is that no matter if we are writing documentation for college students, mid-level professionals, or Executives, the process is the same-to showcase transferable skills and quantifiable achievements, and tell "life experiences" as they apply to the requirements of a specific job target. While the process seems fairly straight forward, it is the analysis of the information that can be challenging while creating visually appealing, compelling text, and graphs that grab HR's attention within seconds.

Client: How long does it take to receive the 1st draft?

Once your documents are received (old resume, career worksheets, company evaluations, etc.) along with the investment, your 1st draft will arrive via email within approximately 14 business days. A tighter deadline can also be discussed.

Client: What is the investment and how do I pay?

Your investment is based on the complexity of the project and level of experience. With a proven track record as an industry leader, the investment is due prior to document development. You can send a check or money order by snail mail (provided via email), or use PayPal (which will include an additional fee of 3%). Keep in mind that the project begins after the investment and career worksheets are received and will be delivered within approximately 14 business days from that date.

About the TORI Award

Each year, CDI hosts the resume writing industry's most prestigious Toast of the Resume Industry (TORI) award competition to find the best-of-the-best professional resumes written for different categories. The competition is judged by certified and award-winning resume writers to identify the top nominees in each category. Since 2004, I have led the industry with nominations and awards.

CDI offers a distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award to any career or resume professional who attains excellence through industry longevity, contribution, and lifelong learning. Sharon Williams received the Career Directors International Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. Few individuals have achieved this distinction.

CDI's President Laura DeCarlo, proudly states, "While winning a TORI Award represents the pinnacle of resume writing expertise within the industry, nomination for a TORI is one of the most prestigious honors a resume writer can achieve. Being recognized as "one of the best" by your peers is an accolade that very few get to savor. We are proud to introduce the TORI Awards to the resume writing and careers industry because it highlights the work of members in our industry that so often get overlooked."

Career Directors International is raising the bar and setting new standards for resume writers and career coaches. With 500+ members, the organization provides continuing education, testing, and coaching for professional resume writers and career coaches worldwide.

About CDI

About CPRW

CDI embarked on a unique competition in 2008 to find the World’s Best Resume Writers!

The competition was open to any English-writing individual in the world who wanted to try his/her hand at professional resume writing. The competition was standardized by providing all candidates the same notes and files. Two separate competitions were held with industry professional judges and the general public.

The Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches was founded in January of 1990. Prior to that time, there had been no association for career professionals to exchange information, enhance their skills, or demonstrate their commitment to providing professional services to the general public. Today, those who display the association's logo affirm their dedication to excellence in meeting client career goals. In addition, many members then choose to seek certification to further affirm their expertise as career professional.
